Abstract: A powered spinning training/therapy apparatus for rotating a body of a person comprises a spinning apparatus. The spinning apparatus includes a chassis and a rotatable platform supported by the chassis for rotation about a vertical platform axis. The rotatable platform is configured to support the body of the person in an upright orientation with the vertical platform axis passing through the body of the person. A drive unit is operatively connected to the rotatable platform for rotating the rotatable platform about the vertical platform axis and has sufficient power to rotate the rotatable platform and the body of the person disposed thereon at a rotational speed of at least 0.1 RPM. A controller is provided for controlling the drive unit and thereby controlling the rotation of the rotatable platform.
